The first A4 was named Silver Link, which had been inspired by a line from Sir Walter Scott’s poem, 'The Lay of the Last Minstrel'. The second A4 was Quicksilver, the third Silver King and the fourth Silver Fox, this locomotive claiming the speed record for a regular passenger train for the Silver Jubilee train at 113mph. All four locomotives were painted in silver/grey livery to match the Silver Jubilee trains streamlined coaches. The Silver Jubilee service ran for four years but was cancelled at the outbreak of the Second World War and not reinstated.
